#Geologically, the #Germancapital, #Berlin, is a remnant of a region situated near a #glacial #terminalmoraine. The #city's natural chains of #lakes date back to this era. However, even restored #artificial #bodiesofwater—such as the #Flughafensee, pictured below—adapt to the typical #wetlandecology characterized by thick layers of #sand.

Wetland (Habitat 🌄)

A wetland is a distinct semi-aquatic ecosystem whose groundcovers are flooded or saturated in water, either permanently, for years or decades, or only seasonally. Flooding results in oxygen-poor processes taking place, especially in the soils. Wetlands form a transitional zone between waterbodies and dry lands, and are different from other terrestrial or a...

Fjord (Glaciology 🗻)

The weather was garbage when we got up this morning, but by lunch it had cleared up nicely. I had a mini-cookout. I made us burgers and fries for lunch. I hope Jen enjoyed it. We were watching Disney Cruise videos while we ate… and now we want to go swimming in the Caribbean.

I have been in the Atlantic Ocean. I have been in the Pacific Ocean. I touched a Great Lake once… actually… twice, I think. I’ve been in lakes and ponds and rivers. I have never been in a Sea though. Taking a dip in the Caribbean could fix that oversight.

Okay, Robert. Back to your chores. That bathroom isn’t going to clean itself.

I've been listening to this song on repeat for the past hour since I first heard it. Absolute masterpiece by one of my all time favorite groups, Bodies of Water.

I cannot wait for the new album!

Swamp (Pedology 🟤)

A swamp is a forested wetland. Swamps are considered to be transition zones because both land and water play a role in creating this environment. Swamps vary in size and are located all around the world. The water of a swamp may be fresh water, brackish water, or seawater. Freshwater swamps form along large rivers or lakes where they are critically dependent upon rainwate...

Guelta (Geomorphology 🏞️)

A guelta is a pocket of water that forms in drainage canals or wadis in the Sahara. The size and duration will depend on the location and conditions. It may last year-round through the dry season if fed by a source such as a spring. When a river dries up, there may be pockets of water remaining along its course. In Western Sahara, gueltas correspond to oases.Some exa...
